Takes me back to my libertarian days - we really believed that in the Party of the Right. Everyone was too much of a pussy for true liberty.

I was telling Liza last night, as we were watching Gossip Girl on the DVR and waiting for the ball to drop, that I should try impersonating a right-winger for a week, to see how convincing I was. It could be more exciting than cross-dressing!
